Guys this was the biggest pain in the ass to install but I'm telling you it is totally worth it! I had a tremendous amount of configuring. The air box had to be cut and rebuilt to fit the depth of the F700. All of those damn wires had to be SQUEEZED in to make room. The bezel fits great and tight and looks amazing. I have the GPS on the front dash and the mic set up just above the driver sun visor. I am use an IPOD 3rd Gen Nano and it works great. I also in stalled the PAC SWI-PS steering wheel controls and yes they work to my suprise...Not hard at all to program.

Looks great! Always makes you feel good to do your own work and overcome installation challenges :wink:

Looks good, I did the same with my E46 M3. Big pain, but worth it! Nice job.

yeah i did that w/ my e46 too. and i don't think i will ever do it again. the cuttin the heater box, recreating a new frame for it, then insulating....gosh it was such a pain in the ass! by the way, i fabricated my bezel myself, and it came out looking JUST like yours (which i believe is bought), right?
